Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connector, particularly to a circuit board connector, provided with terminal fittings to be pressed and to e connected with an electric or electronic device such as a circuit board, and to a method of mounting the connector to an electric or electronic device such as a circuit board.
  • a known circuit board connector is constructed such that terminal fittings 30 extending substantially straight are fixedly pierced through a bottom plate 2 of a housing 1 in the form of a box having an open upper surface as shown in FIG. 15 (see, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2002-110278 ).
  • a projecting piece 4 projects out sideways from each terminal fitting 3 and is fittable into a corresponding stepped recess 6 formed in the inner surface of a mount hole 5 formed in the bottom plate 2.
  • a pressing surface 9 of a pressing jig 8 is placed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 2 having the terminal fittings 3 mounted, and the pressing jig 8 is moved toward the circuit board 7, whereby leading end portions of the terminal fittings 3 can be pressed into through holes 7A of the circuit board 7 for connection.
  • Document US 2004/0005794 A1 discloses a positioning plate which is mounted to a circuit board connector and has insertion holes into which jig contacts of terminals are insertable. A depth of the insertion holes exceeds a length of the jig contact of the terminal. Thus upon mounting the circuit board connector on a circuit board the resilient contacts of each terminal are inserted into a corresponding through hole until the positioning plate comes contacts the circuit board whereby further insertion of the resitient contacts is prevented.
  • the present invention was developed in view of this problem and an object thereof is to prevent a housing from being deformed by a pressing operation of a pressing jig.
  • a connector comprising:
  • the terminal fittings are fixedly pierced through the back wall of the receptacle and the pressing jig presses the inner surface of the back wall of the receptacle and the jig receiving surfaces of the terminal fittings in this state to press the press-in portions of the terminal fittings into the through holes of the circuit board for connection.
  • the pressing jig is placed not only on the inner surface of the back wall of the receptacle, but also on the jig receiving surfaces of the terminal fittings, so that a pressing force of the pressing jig directly act on the terminal fittings.
  • a deformation of the housing resulting from a pressing operation of the pressing jig can be hindered thereby improving overall operability.
  • the at least one jig receiving surface may be brought substantially into contact with the pressing jig by being at least partly exposed at the inner surface of the back wall.
  • circuit board connector comprising:
  • the receiving portion is formed with a retaining portion.

  • the back wall is formed with mount holes through which the terminal fittings are inserted, and stepped recesses to be brought into contact with the retaining portions to stop the terminal fittings at a specified insertion depth during the insertion of the terminal fittings are formed in the inner surfaces of the mount holes.
  • the terminal fittings can be positioned and held while being prevented from coming out the mount holes in an inserting direction thereof.
  • the at least one jig receiving surface may be brought substantially into contact with the pressing jig by being at least partly exposed at the inner surface of the back wall.
  • the terminal fitting is retained by means of a retaining portion provided at the receiving portion.
  • the terminal fittings are inserted into one or more mount holes formed in the back wall.
  • one or more stepped recesses are brought substantially into contact with the retaining portions to stop the terminal fittings at a specified (predetermined or predeterminable) insertion depth during the insertion of the terminal fittings, wherein the stepped recesses are formed in or at the mount holes, preferably in the inner surfaces of the mount holes.
